Chair is OK but not the chamber

HYDERABAD, Sept  22: The powerful chair of   chief  minister is  OK  but  not  the chamber, this seems  to be bothering the interim  Chief Minister K Rosaiah who is hesitating to  move to the `C’ Block in  the  Secretariat where  Y S Rajasekhara Reddy  once administered  the  state.This  is nothing  new to Rosaiah  but it  has become a  tradition with  most  of  the  chief  ministers in the  recent  past  starting  from N T Rama Rao.  Climbing  the  wooden staircase  leading  to the   oldest  G Block  in the  Secretariat, NTR set up  his  chamber in the   D Block soon  after  he  took over  as the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh .His  son-in-law  Chandra babu Naidu who dethroned  him  preferred  to have his  chamber in the  third  floor  of  the  C Block  instead of   moving  into NTR’s  chamber.

Of course  as time would have  it   he  ruled  from there for  nine  consecutive  years facing  stiff opposition from  the Congress.Y S Rajasekhara Reddy  who succeeded   Chandrababu  also shunned  to  occupy  the  chambers of  Chandrababu and  settled  for  a chamber in the  fourth  floor of  the  C Block.With  Rosaiah  occupying  the   hot  seat  under tragic  circumstances  after  sudden demise  of  YSR, prefers  to  continue  the administration from D Block where  he presently administers.  Though Rosaiah  made  a  statement  that he would be  moving  to C Block on an auspicious  day,  it is  still uncertain  whether  he  would ask  for  a new  chamber or  not.With the  Congress MLAs indulging  in power politics the  dame luck of  chambers should  smile on Rosaiah  to  prolong  his stint as  the Chief  Minister
